Study Ideas for YOU, the quintessential Honors Student

1.  Watch a Mel Brooks movie while studying to increase your memorization capabilities.  You will learn all the lines of the movies and find that your book is a great tray for food and beverages.  Your professor will be impressed when you fill your bluebook with lines from History of the World!

2.  Assume all exams are canceled.  Realize that your intelligence is not reflected by your performance on any one test or paper.  You are above such nonsense.

3.  Make plane reservations for a flight departing 5 minutes after your last exam.  Spend the entire exam period wondering if there is any possible way to make it to the airport in time for your flight.  In fact, write your professor a letter on the metaphysical implications of this problem.

4.  Assume the test will be open book and open notes.  Don't bother studying.  You shouldn't have to memorize useless facts and statistics for one test...  The professor will see things your way and let you use your book.

5. Know one substantial fact for every class.  Answer any question on the test with that fact.  The sky is blue because acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth is 9.8 m/s^2.

6.  Remember to prioritize: Social life, friends, extracurriculars - those three, in any order.

7.  Call Dominoes and have them deliver to your class room 5 minutes after the exam starts.  No professor will be able to pass up free food.

8.  Send your professor an email 2 minutes before the exam telling him that "something came up so you won't be able to make it."  Tell him you hope you haven't hurt his feelings, but he should understand that life can't revolve around him.

9.  It doesn't matter if you finish your final papers or do well in your exams, as long as your room is perfectly decorated for Christmas.

10.  Remember - it's almost time for break!
